Meanwhile, Yor, the assassin and Twilight’s wife, is assigned a mission to eliminate a target at the same school Twilight is infiltrating. However, she struggles to find a way to access the school without blowing her cover.
As Twilight and Anya begin their first day at school, they meet the class representative, Damian Desmond, who immediately catches Twilight's attention.

As the episode unfolds, Twilight becomes convinced that Damian's father is the real target. He lures the principal into a trap, posing as a parent needing his assistance.
